ok, just came back from a party. In the backyard, the lake had a medium sized (2lb) pbass chilling in the rocks. (Caught it btw):D Around was a huge cloud of fry, Id say 200-300 babies. So me being a monster fishkeeper, I couldnt help but collect a few.:drool: I didnt get them until I left the party, so it was late and my dad was waiting for me so I only managed to get 5. One died from the stress of being netted and bagged,:irked: but my other 4 are stll looking pretty good. Is there anything special I should know about raising these little beasts? There from 1/4"- to about 1/2". Thank you so much. I'm really excited to grow them out!!:D:D:D:D:D:D
Hate to derail, but I am so jealous. You have pbass in your back yard!

throw them in a fry tank, make sure to put a sponge or something to cover the filter. keep the water pristene for these guys because they can really get hurt by the ammonia and what not

I would suggest holding them in a small tank. 5 or 10 gallons will do and heated to at least 86 degrees for at least a week and good aeration. If they survive that week, you may drop it down to around 80 - 82. At that size your best bet for feeding is live baby brine shrimp or very tiny live feeders.
